It's Difficult Not To.... Oh, What The Hell

They deserve the mocking they will get...
Delingpole: More Climate Scientists Rescued from Polar Ice. This Could Be a Major Trend…
If they're not stuck in the ice in the [not melting] arctic, then they're stuck in ice in the [not melting] antarctic. But that's not climate, of course, it's just weather... although they are there to study climate. Got that?

They need to pay for all of their ice-bound rescues. Sounds like a business opportunity - rescuing ice-bound climate scientists.

It's Good That The Sun Has 'No Appreciable Effect On Global Warming' As They've 'Splained To Us...

...otherwise this would knock those computer graphs back somewhat.
The sun is going to be really cool in 2050, scientists say

By 2050, that big burning ball of gas is going to be unusually cool, according to a study from the University of California San Diego.

Based on 20 years of data collection and observations, a research team led by physicist Dan Lubin calculated that the sun will be 7% cooler — and dimmer — by the mid-century.

Climate Change and Geologic Boundaries

Climate Change Linked to Continental Geological Faults

In a broad theoretical sense, the NASA study shows that the climate influence of Earth’s major oceanic and continental fault boundaries is greatly underappreciated.
Well, certainly all those software models take this effect into account... right?

The Children's Climate Lawsuit

The Children's Climate Lawsuit Against The Children
Actually this lawsuit is James Hansen's attempt to regain the spotlight for himself. Hansen has declared himself the "guardian of future generations", bringing this suit in their behalf. Hansen was the Chicken Little of NASA infamy. On top of unprovable claims for the year 2100, Hansen will have no standing in terms of harms, which are unprovable software models and not materially real. When he loses this frivolous court case he should be forced to pay court costs, attorney fees, etc. so that the taxpayer doesn't have to pay for his windmill tilting.

Et Tu, Mars?

A new culprit for climate change is found, but it’s not of this Earth
OK. Short form. Planetary gravities interfere with one another, thereby changing their positions and orientations. Changes in orientation change insolation on individual planets and therefore heating: climate change.

But don't worry because: software models, doncha know.

And build a gravity wall between us and Mars... a wall Lefties can believe in.

Glacial Indication That Excessive Global Warming is False.

SO YOU’RE SAYING RETREATING GLACIERS REVEAL PREVIOUS HUMAN HABITAT? YOU’RE SAYING IN FACT THAT GLACIERS WERE SMALLER THAN THIS VERY RECENTLY IN GEOLOGICAL TERMS? You’re saying the entire Anthropogenic Global Warming boondoggle is a scam? It’s okay we knew it all along.

Reindeer hunter stumbles upon 1,100-year-old Viking sword.

In his email to Fox News, Pilø explained that retreating glaciers and ice patches have revealed a trove of artifacts in Oppland County. “We have more than half of such finds worldwide, the oldest dating back 6,000 years,” he said. “The retreat of mountain glaciers and ice patches here in Oppland is part of a worldwide phenomenon linked to climate change.”

The sword is just the latest fascinating archaeological find in Norway. Last year, for example, archaeologists in Trondheim unearthed the church where Viking King Olaf Haraldsson was first enshrined as a saint.

So! You Have Yourself a Science With No Verifiable Facts??

Strike Two For Aussie Temperature Measurements

Yes, calibration is necessary:
Ooops! Australian BoM climate readings may be invalid due to lack of calibration
Anthony Watts / 24 hours ago September 11, 2017

Dr Jennifer Marohasy writes by email:

There is evidence to suggest that the last 20 years of temperature readings taken by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, from hundreds of automatic weather stations spread across Australia, may be invalid. Why? Because they have not been recorded consistent with calibration.

Somewhat desperate to prove me wrong, late yesterday the Bureau issued a ‘Fast Facts’ that really just confirms the institution has mucked-up. You can read my line-by-line response to this document here: http://jennifermarohasy.com/2017/09/bureau-management-rewrites-rules/

This comes just a few days after the Bureau issued a 77-page report attempting to explain why, despite MSI1 cards being installed into weather stations preventing them from recording cold temperatures, there is no problem.

Earlier this year, specifically on Wednesday 26 July, I was interviewed by Alan Jones on radio 2GB. He has one of the highest rating talkback radio programs in Australia. We discussed my concerns. And according to the new report, by coincidence, the very next day, some of these cards were removed…

You can read why my husband, John Abbot, thinks this 77-page report is “all about me” in an article published just yesterday at The Spectator: https://www.spectator.com.au/2017/09/not-really-fit-for-purpose-the-bureau-of-meteorology/

I’ve republished this, and much more at my blog.

People Caused These Hurricanes...?

Global warming. I think it is an observable fact. But:

All global temperature data is corrupt, another observable fact. But:

Let's stipulate that the global warming does, exist. Let's stipulate that CO2 is rising. What is the empirical proof that human-produced CO2 is THE cause of global warming? There are some ways to test this hypothesis (it's only a hypothesis, at this point). What is needed is firm empirical data of output variability due solely to input variation - a transfer function relationship, and accompanying graph.

How can we get that?

1. First we need another planet, identical to earth in composition and history and and dating, but with no humans. OK? Doesn't work? OK.

2. Or we need to be able to adjust human CO2 generation, and observe the actual variability of the output (warming) with the changes in the input (controlled variation of human CO2 input). Hm. Nope, can't do that either.

3. So we have to guess at human system input change in CO2, and then measure the entire earth surface and oceans, top to bottom with complete accuracy and reliability for output change. What does that give us?

First we have only a guess for the input to the system (which incidentally is buried in other, larger simultaneous system inputs, also variable). For the output we have spotty and falsified temperature data which has been jiggered in advance of its use by modellers by the addition of a nonlinear rising function applied to the falling function of the actual source temperature data. Thus we have probably (almost certainly) false system output data for use in computer climate models.

So what we actually have to work with is a guessed input, and a false output. There is no rational transfer function to be derived from this. None.

Now maybe it is possible that a warmer globe will produce stronger, more infrequent storms. But I don't actually know that, and neither do the AGW activists and the model programmers who depend on AGW for their living.

Therefore, in terms of actual knowledge, not Narrative, no one can possibly know that "people caused" these hurricanes. In fact, that statement is at least two serial fallacies removed from empirical factoid status. AND empirical factoid status is always purely contingent: not truth.

So the statement "people caused these hurricanes" is false in its intent and false in its content.

Yale Responds to Dilbert; Ross McKitrick Dissects

Dilbert Cartoon on Climate Change Prompts Rebuttal from Yale
The problem is this: they prove Dilbert's case.

While reading through this and summoning up some of the reference papers I came across the issue of Hockey Sticks, Red Noise, and the MBH98/99 data transformation used by certain, if not all, climate modellers. To summarize the MBH98/99 issue, applying the MBH98/99 data transformation to the actual virgin data: when MHB98 is applied to red noise, a hockey stick is produced. Further, data used by various modellers is claimed to be open to the public, but is not and requests for the data are consistently refused. Selection bias for data sources is rampant, using only data sources such as provide presupposed data trends (bristle cone pines), and ignoring others (ice core). The Arctic-melt warming is headlined while the ice increase in the Antarctic is ignored. Sea level is still claimed to be radically rising (with flood photos injected as false proof)... the sea level has not risen, because the Antarctic ice build-up has frozen the water lost by the Arctic and glaciers. Further, the warming that exists has caused extra plant growth, which sequesters both carbon and water.

The Michael Mann [1] MHB98 data transform should be sufficient to disqualify all models which use it.

Dilbert is right. As usual.

Note 1: Amazon: "A Disgrace to the Profession; the world's scientists, in their own words, on Michael Mann, his hockey stick, and their damage to science."

UPDATE: Aussie Temperature Readings Plummet

TEMPERATURE READINGS PLUNGE AFTER AUSTRALIA’S BUREAU OF METEOROLOGY ORDERS END TO ‘TAMPERING’

"The Bureau­ of Meteorology (BoM) initially claimed the adjustments were part of its quality control procedures. But bureau chief executive Andrew Johnson later told Environment Minister Josh­ Frydenberg that investigations had found a number of cold-weather stations were not “fit for purpose” and would be replaced."

Aussie temperature tampering scandal: “Smart cards” filter out coldest temperatures. Full audit needed ASAP! - 'The story changes: first it was quality control, then equipment failure, now a smart card?'

Flashback - Scandal: Australian Bureau of Meteorology caught erasing cold temperatures

Flashback: Australia Weather Bureau Caught Tampering With Climate Numbers

Just more LYING "SCIENTISTS", who got caught. They should be jailed for FRAUD, but that's not likely when government is fully converged.

AGW Fail: Media Cover-Up

This should be good news, of course. But it is not good news for the Leftist Doom Narrative, or their desire to use the issue for terrorizing the populace into allowing the Left to transfer the wealth from the hated western nations, to the Victimhood underdeveloped nations (where it would be appropriated by the leadership, bribes to the Left paid and the rest placed in Swiss banks where it mysteriously disappears from any assistance to the populace)[Note]

NASA Confirms Falling Sea Levels For Two Years Amidst Media Blackout

Most media outlets cannot be bothered to report something that dramatically deflates their narrative. So it goes without saying that when NASA confirmed that ocean levels have actually been falling for the past few years, the media would be more than silent.

As the global warming narrative quickly unravels, and leftists scramble to throw accusations at those who dare question the false data, the media brushes facts under the rug. Amidst revelations of scientific fraud, data alteration and faked “hockey stick” data models, the fake news media remains suspiciously silent over the fact that NASA now confirms ocean levels have been falling for nearly two years.

On a NASA page intended to spread climate alarmism (https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/sea-level/), NASA’s own data reveal that worldwide ocean levels have been falling for nearly two years, dropping from a variation of roughly 87.5mm to below 85mm. This data clearly contradicts the false narrative of rapid, never-ending rising ocean levels that flood continents and drown cities. The narrative is climate alarmists key element of the climate change fear mongering fiction that’s used to scare gullible youth into making Al Gore rich.

Global warming alarmists might say this is only a “pause” in the rising ocean levels, and that the long-term trend is clearly in the direction of rising oceans. However, these people wildly exaggerate the degree of ocean level increases to the point of absurdity and have been caught red-handed completely fabricating data to continue scaring the public into supporting a non-issue.
Note: The evidence for this is the Clinton's rape of Haiti, where they contracted for services not rendered and pocketed the contract $$. They left Haiti worse off than before the Clinton's arrived to "help".

It's Called "Science" Until They're Caught At It

Then it becomes criminal. Real scientists should demand punishment.
Australia Weather Bureau Caught Tampering With Climate Numbers


Australian scientists at the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) ordered a review of temperature recording instruments after the government agency was caught tampering with temperature logs in several locations.

Agency officials admit that the problem with instruments recording low temperatures likely happened in several locations throughout Australia, but they refuse to admit to manipulating temperature readings. The BOM located missing logs in Goulburn and the Snow Mountains, both of which are in New South Wales.

Meteorologist Lance Pidgeon watched the 13 degrees Fahrenheit Goulburn recording from July 2 disappear from the bureau’s website. The temperature readings fluctuated briefly and then disappeared from the government’s website.

“The temperature dropped to minus 10 (13 degrees Fahrenheit), stayed there for some time and then it changed to minus 10.4 (14 degrees Fahrenheit) and then it disappeared,” Pidgeon said, adding that he notified scientist Jennifer Marohasy about the problem, who then brought the readings to the attention of the bureau.

The bureau would later restore the original 13 degrees Fahrenheit reading after a brief question and answer session with Marohasy.
If Left-Wing Scientists Felt The Need To Tamper With Climate Data, Doesn't That Mean The Real Data Doesn't Fit Their Narrative?

“The bureau’s quality ­control system, designed to filter out spurious low or high values was set at minus 10 minimum for Goulburn which is why the record automatically adjusted,” a bureau spokeswoman told reporters Monday. BOM added that there are limits placed on how low temperatures could go in some very cold areas of the country.

Bureaus Chief Executive Andrew Johnson told Australian Environment Minister Josh Frydenberg that the failure to record the low temperatures at Goulburn in early July was due to faulty equipment. A similar failure wiped out a reading of 13 degrees Fahrenheit at Thredbo Top on July 16, even though temperatures at that station have been recorded as low as 5.54 degrees Fahrenheit.

Failure to observe the low temperatures had “been interpreted by a member of the community in such a way as to imply the bureau sought to manipulate the data record,” Johnson said, according to The Australian. “I categorically reject this ­implication.”

Marohasy, for her part, told reporters that Johnson’s claims are nearly impossible to believe given that there are screen shots that show the very low temperatures before being “quality assured” out. It could take several weeks before the equipment is eventually tested, reviewed and ready for service, Johnson said.

“I have taken steps to ensure that the hardware at this location is replaced immediately,” he added. “To ensure that I have full ­assurance on these matters, I have actioned an internal review of our AWS network and associated data quality control processes for temperature observations.”

BOM has been put under the microscope before for similar manipulations. The agency was accused in 2014 of tampering with the country’s temperature record to make it appear as if temperatures had warmed over the decades, according to reports in August 2014.

Marohasey claimed at the time that BOM’s adjusted temperature records are “propaganda” and not science. She analyzed raw temperature data from places across Australia, compared them to BOM data, and found the agency’s data created an artificial warming trend.

Marohasey said BOM adjustments changed Aussie temperature records from a slight cooling trend to one of “dramatic warming” over the past century.

The Leftist Cathedral Wants Journalist Burned at the Stake

TIMES COLUMNIST BLASTED BY “NASTY LEFT” FOR CLIMATE CHANGE PIECE:

In the column, Stephens never states that he believes climate change is a farce. He simply asserts that people should look at claims from both supporters and deniers, in the attempt to get all the facts.
The freakout of the Times‘ core readers is reminiscent of the famous moment when the late Julian Simon debated an earlier iteration of hard left religious zealots:
Simon, the economist who was legendarily skeptical about environmental doom, once posed a question at an environmental forum: “How many people here believe that the earth is increasingly polluted and that our natural resources are being exhausted?” Almost every hand shot up. He then said, “Is there any evidence that could dissuade you?” There was no response, so he asked again, “Is there any evidence I could give you—anything at all—that would lead you to reconsider these assumptions?” Again, no response. Simon concluded, “Well, excuse me. I’m not dressed for church.”
Ed Driscoll at Instapundit
The Left has fully mobilized as the MESSIAH Class, and has "legitimized" any sort of violence and eliminationism as the MORAL response to the Oppressors who would harm their FAUX VICTIMHOOD Class. They are now the equivalent of the Christian CRUSADERS, who mobilized and weaponized in order to save Christians from Islamic slavery of the Moor invasions.

The difference is that the class structure the Left believes in is purely imaginary, an artifact not of empirical fact, but of ideological machinations in their fevered minds. Nonetheless, the resulting self-righteousness is finally being openly implemented in violence.

This is a binary situation: either the Left changes its ideology into one of actual, real tolerance and acceptance of the Other, or their increasing violence must be met. It is binary because the mindset of the Left is exactly binary. They have defined Good and Evil in their own religious terms; and the self-righteous Leftist Sharia cannot tolerate tolerance of the non-Left. Evil must be eradicated under Leftist Sharia. Evil means all non-Leftist thought.

Only Hive-Think is allowed by the Left, and they constantly signal their Hive-Righteousness to avoid being eliminated themselves. The most infamous example of this was the time that the Amazing Randi suggested that there might be some validity to climate-panic skepticism. The reaction was immediate and severe; Randi lost all his creds as a Leftist, and the attacks on him were cold, hard and devastating. Randi immediately repented openly, and publicly self-lacerated in order to be allowed back into the cloister. It was an "Amazing" yet predictable sight.
